9 reasons why Padman is a must watch

While there are already superheros like Superman, Iron man, Batman etc, it seems that there is one more addition to that list now which is Padman. Akshay Kumar is perhaps one of the most underrated actors in the industry. The superstar who was initially known for his work in action and comedies has recently entirely changed the nature of films which he is seen working in. His performances in movies like Toilet : Ek Prem Katha, Special 26 and Jolly LLB 2 left the audience spellbound. And now with Padman, it seems that Akshay is all set to bring us another gem of a film. So with Padman all set to release on the 9th February this month, we list down 9 reason why you just cannot miss watching this film:

1. Social cause

The main reason behind producing the movie was to show people the struggle that females in our country are going through. It is to show that females are missing out on general hygienic facilities like Sanitary Pads which are absolutely necessary for a woman during her period.

2. Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar's recent movies have had one thing in common. They always give out a strong message. The actor is putting the medium of films and his popularity to the best of use as it is an amazing and a rather popular platform for making his message reach to every corner of the country and even the world.

3. Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor is supposedly playing a very important role in the film as well. She will be seen portraying the role of the women who helped Akshay Kumar’s character to achieve his goal of producing low cost sanitary pads in India.

4. Radhika Apte

Radhika Apte has already impressed many with her performances in Badlapur and Manjhi : The Mountain Man and with Padman it seems that she is all set to impress the audience once again. She will be seen playing playing the role of Akshay Kumar’s wife in the movie.

5. Inspiring story

One of the most important reasons that you shouldn’t miss out on Padman is that it is actually based on a true story. Through Padman, Akshay Kumar wants to tell the story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented a low-cost sanitary pad making machine and helped spread awareness about traditional unhygienic practices around menstruation in rural India.

6. Breaking Taboos

Another important reason that such a movie is being made is that the creators want to break the taboo around periods and menstruation that exists in India. Even till today girls and women cannot talk about delicate matters like these openly.

7. Message behind the project

The main reason for Padman is to increase awareness for sanitary pads and menstruation in India. Films are watched by everyone in India so you are guaranteed that the message you are trying to spread will have the maximum possible reach specially in the remote village areas.

8. R Balki

R Balki has made some amazing movies like Amitabh Bachchan’s Cheeni Kum, Paa . The filmmaker has an extremely innovative style of telling a story and knows how to bring out the best out of his actors. And since Padman is written and directed by an ace storyteller like R Balki, we shouldn’t miss watching this film for sure.

9. Entertainment factor

Akshay Kumar has already proved with movies like Toilet : Ek Prem Katha, Special 26 and Baby that while giving out a message it is also possible to entertain people. Even though the main focus of the movie is about spreading the message Akshay always manages to keep the audience engaged. So judging by his track record it is safe to say that Padman along with spreading awareness and menstruation will be a huge entertainer as well.
